Reserve price is USD1,400
I rather send a bunch of minifigs to "chrome" it properly. There are proper ways to chrome it.
Otherwise,
cincai chrome it locally also can, for display but not to play. Else will flake off.
Yeah, there are a handful of places in the web that offers to customize your minifigs. Honestly Mr. Gold doesn't rub on me at all, it looks horrible. I think any of those customized minfigs look way better than that! If I do get lucky (which I won't) on Mr. Gold I'll just sell it and donate part of the proceeds to a charity...

i doubt its gonna be helpful for you to exchange your 20 mechanics with my 20 skydivers.
then all well end up is you having 40 skydivers and me having 40 mechanics.

lol! Well, I'm ok to have those excess, my daughter will have endless fun with it and maybe I'll also follow in your footsteps to give it out as party favours.
What I mean is those of us who has bought the 60 packs boxes, we could help others to complete the series. But like you said, we will end up with a lot of excess and perhaps not everyone is willing to do that. Maybe exchange based on 2 to 1 ratio if exchanging a common minfig with a less common minifig could be an incentive?

Wow! Wish I could get my hands on this set.... but then my wife would nag!
I can understand your excitement. Many of us get this rush of excitement whenever the Poslaju/UPS/DHL man rings our doorbell, or we go and collect that giant brown box/package from the post office. Then our hearts pouding with anticipation as we slit open the box to reveal..... LEGO TREASURES!!!

The feeling is like finding your present under the tree on Christmas morning!

Hey Jason! sorry been meaning to reply to you sooner, been caught up with work and stuff... will get to it when i have the time. i have to put my "project" on hold, anyway... due to some unforeseen circumstances.
where should they hunt for the legos in OZ anyways? besides ebay? do you know of any shops that might sell them?
I think if i were to get the series 10, which i most probably will (not the whole box la no money).... i'll give mr gold a miss. i'm better off buying a box set of modular or tower bridge or something, cheaper than mr gold. unless mr gold's really made of gold, and i can keep them in the safe like a gold nugget or coin, and then turn it into jewellery when i'm old (or older hehehehhe) then i don't mind spending the money buying mr gold.
No worries sis! Take your time, work hard and earn those moolah to support this hobby! Just pm me if you get stuck with BL.
I'm not familiar with specialty shops in OZ but I reckon the deals at those big retailers are pretty good when they slash prices. Try Myers, Target, K Mart and of course TRU.
